Dirty Curve by Meagan Brandy
4.0

Tobias and Meyer were incredible main characters! I adored both of them as individuals. I lived for them in the scenes they shared together and I wanted nothing more than for these opposites to make it work and build on their chemistry. This book was so full of ups and downs from the very start. I love a nerd/athlete romance story and this one had all of the key elements of a good HEA! Even though Tobias was a smug, entitled, playboy on campus, something about him I just connected to and wanted to see him make a 180 and become the good guy.

I haven't loathed a character in a recent romance book as much as I did Coach. From the first scenes he appeared in, I was rubbed the wrong way! I just knew in my gut something about him wasn't going to make me happy. He was so darn egotistical and cold.

I really enjoyed this read, despite the fact that I struggled to understand/justify some of the actions and decisions by Meyer that took place outside of this book's timeline. I scratched my head at how much her character changed from past to present. But I guess motherhood can do that to you. PS: The single parent trope of this story isn't a spoiler as it is revealed in the first few chapters of the story.
